German Chamomile: The Classic Anti-inflammatory
The healing properties of German Chamomile have been understood and used for a long time before essential oils became available to the general public. Today the essential oil is in high demand as a component in many therapeutic, calming and ant-inflammatory synergies. To satisfy the demand, German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is cultivated around the globe; especially in Hungary, Bulgaria, Egypt, India and Nepal.

Therapeutic Properties
Used topically German Chamomile is a powerful anti-inflammatory. It soothes gastric pain when a drop is consumed mixed within a cup of Chamomile or herbal tea. French literature says it eliminates metabolic waste during and after bacterial infection.

#5 German Chamomile from Bavaria
Our German Chamomile oil is unique in being of the highly effective (-)
α Bisabolol type. Bisabolol is a delicate sequiterpene which is oxidized as the plant ages and the resulting Bisabolol oxide or Bisabolone type essential oils from hotter climates are not as desirable. The authentic (-)
α Bisabolol type from Bavaria, however, will display a broad pleiotropic effect that makes it one of the most valuable oils.
